If the Republican Party bans the UBI, what the fuck is their plan?

Plan? Did someone think they had a plan? There is no plan. All republicans know is obstruction and destruction.
Its literally called Project 2025. There is a plan and it is published.
I suppose you’re right, plotting is technically planning… I meant something more constructive or helpful, something that would improve the country in any arbitrary measurement.
The world is under going radical changes with commodified AI, regardless of how anyone feels about it, and US society is woefully unprepared because we’re being sabotaged by a party of fascist demagogues.
The goal never was to help the American people. It was just easy to make the average man live comfortably when your country is one of the only ones not set to rubble mode after WW2. Now that our means to an end have reached the end we are all starting to get uncomfortable enough to tell the Emperor he is naked.
It’s* literally called

why does the GOP just want to hurt everyone?

Thoughts and prayers. Did you not get yours?
Why don’t we just eat brioche?
Gaslight, Obstruct, and Project. But harder!!
What does it even matter? Even if they ban it, it changes nothing because it’s not like they would ever implement it anyway. And if the dems would want to implement UBI someday couldn’t they just repeal the ban?
The plan is the same as last time:
Why are they blaming the republicans for banning UBI? Obama had a super majority, and the dems didn’t pass a UBI or even an abortion bill, so obviously the Dems dont want it either.
Hi. Did you know you’re repeating a Republican attack line from the campaign? I wonder who that would help.
tl;dr: the actual length of the supermajority was a few months, which they spent working on reform for the healthcare industry, where an estimated $2.4 trillion was spent in 2008.
Also, even the Green Party didn’t add UBI to their platform until 2010.
I don’t see where I said the length was 2 years? I said Obama had a super majority, and when he had it he said “abortion wasn’t a priority,” and neither was UBI. I don’t give a shit about what republicans think.
UBI became broadly well known as a policy in the US in 2020 with Andrew Yang’s campaign. It was on the Green Party’s radar as of their 2010 platform. Neither of those things had happened when the Dems had a roughly 6 month supermajority in 2009.
There are plenty of legitimate concerns to have about Democratic policies without expecting time travel from them.
You may not care what Republicans think, but you’re doing their job for them.
So youre point is because the dems didnt make any UBI plans, it should now be forever banned? Even if they don’t want it now, there’s no reason to ban it unless youre a tyrant.
It won’t be forever banned as soon as the dems decide they want it. The ban literally does nothing except signal to the republican base, but that law had no power to stop the federal government from providing UBI. Much like all the dumb bullshit states are doing with abortion could be simply and easily undone as soon as dems decide they actually cared about abortion beyond a fundraising opportunity.
But I’m sure Dems in Arizona are going to use the existence of a law, that does nothing, to send out thousands of emails urging you to donate to whatever dem candidate that has never cared about UBI, will never pass UBI and has no intention of passing a UBI.

I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to why prices won’t rise to include the UBI so people are effectively as poor as ever, meanwhile the money still goes to the companies gouging us for necessities, just with an extra stop along the way.
Edit: yeah, no, this is a dumb take because that exact fucking thing has never happened with anything else like college tuition 🙄
College tuition is a weird bird. Some colleges allegedly have attempted to lower prices for tuition and found that they had less students, claiming something about perceived value and standards.
I’m pretty sure it’s all bullshit, but I’m definitely not running a study on pricing.
Finally bothered to find a source: https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/making-college-more-expensive-unintended-consequences-federal-tuition-aid
So yeah, still haven’t heard a convincing argument why UBI won’t do that ^ but to everything. Amazingly, downvotes failed to change my mind.
